Title: Do you prefer to be indoors or outside?
Post by: droverjess on July 01, 2012, 09:34:51 am: As I just wrote the last thread it gave me an idea for this one.

Are you an indoors or outdoors person?

I'd always rather be outside by choice, but I do enjoy being snug with a cosy fire on a nasty winter's day.

Have you changed over? Used to be one way and now the other or a bit of both?

Be great to hear your stories especially as for most of you on here your climate is very different to ours.

Thanks in advance DJ

But winter I prefer to be inside (great time to catch up on jobs inside)
But if I had a choice I would much rather be outside enjoying the sun.
Although I'm not keen on the heat in summer when it gets in the high 30s :)

Post by: Amy :-) on July 01, 2012, 11:20:35 am: I was actually thinking about this the other day DJ, and I realised that while I'm inside, I think I like it more than being outside, but as soon as I go outside, I realise how much nicer it is than being stuck inside :-))

Me too...

I like being outside in summer, sitting on the patio or by the pool.

Post by: Cuilidh on July 01, 2012, 09:45:49 pm: I love gardening, once I get started I find it hard to stop, but it's the getting started that is my problem! I'm not a cold weather person, so it's in front of the fire for me at this time of year but, give me a 20 - 25 degree day and I love being outside and pottering about.

Post by: obbie on July 01, 2012, 10:16:48 pm: outside on the deck, or inside in the kitchen..
Title: Re: Do you prefer to be indoors or outside?
Post by: Amy :-) on July 02, 2012, 12:35:51 am: I wish I had an outdoor kitchen. That was fly-proof, weather-proof, spider-proof, nosy-neighbour-proof, stray-cat-proof....

;D ;D ;D

Post by: obbie on July 02, 2012, 03:08:33 am: Great idea Amy.... :)

Outdoor kitchen that did its own dishes, and cleaned up, and restocked the pantry automatically.
We would still have to cook though..

Title: Re: Do you prefer to be indoors or outside?
Post by: obbie on July 02, 2012, 06:38:06 am: Oh yes Amy, we could do it.

we could add another cooking machine too.
Title: Re: Do you prefer to be indoors or outside?
Post by: Amy :-) on July 02, 2012, 06:47:40 am: Absolutely :D

And I think we should make it a portable kitchen so we can take it around the world ;)

I prefer indoors but like outdoors too unless it gets too hot... my motto has always been 'if you are cold you can always put more clothes on, but you can't always take more off' :o

Post by: obbie on July 03, 2012, 10:47:49 am: Take them off Astarra, I don't feel the cold, so I wear tank tops all the time.
Title: Re: Do you prefer to be indoors or outside?
Post by: droverjess on July 03, 2012, 12:01:26 pm: Would much rather be too warm that too cold.

Is that because our climate is much colder than yours?
Title: Re: Do you prefer to be indoors or outside?
Post by: Amy :-) on July 03, 2012, 12:05:45 pm: Probably DJ :-)) I can't stand being hot. I'd rather be a bit chilly than sweaty (unless I'm working out) ;D
Title: Re: Do you prefer to be indoors or outside?
Post by: droverjess on July 03, 2012, 12:11:51 pm: With working outdoors most of the time I have been really really cold a few times in my life. Not pleasant. And sometimes you wear so many clothes that it makes it difficult to work.

Prefer warm climate, love to wear T shirt & long shorts.

Post by: Amy :-) on July 03, 2012, 12:17:54 pm: That sounds fair enough DJ :o England is very cold though isn't it? You get snow ;D
Title: Re: Do you prefer to be indoors or outside?
Post by: droverjess on July 03, 2012, 01:25:00 pm: Well we have had snow for last 3 winters.

Used to live much further north, snow every winter.

Have known -20 but that is extreme. And when a dry cold is not so bad.

I think the relentless damp makes it worse.
